I've been giving this some thought, and I'm seriously considering raffling off my 2000 2.5RS for BAM X's mega raffle. The car has a fairly new motor and tranny, though the body is a little beat up with some dents, and the hood needs painting, other then that it runs great.
It would be perfect for someone who wants to turn it into a race car, or even a daily driver so that you don't have to drive your expensive new car around.
Who would be interested in that? I figure each raffle ticket could be like $15 each or something, winner takes the car home as is, all we do is sign over the papers and the car is yours. It comes with a premium sound package and has a bunch of extras including 4 pot brakes and performance suspension.
How cool would that be? You buy a raffle ticket for $15 and win a friggin car!
I'm totally serious about this, it's a matter of either turning it into a track dedicated race car with full cage, tranny and possible motor swap, etc... But it's a money pit that I can't really afford to play with right now which is why raffling the car off sounds like a better idea since I could still make money from it and someone would benefit greatly from it as well.
I dunno, I feel really bad parting with it since it was my first new car and Ive been to hell and back with it so the idea of turning it into a race car (doesn't have to be the fastest race car, just having a track car would be sick) sounds really nice because then I could keep it... But we're trying to buy a house and already have 3 cars as it is so the RS is just taking up space and someone without a subie could really benefit from it and I could use the money. I'd rather raffle it to you guys then sell it to some teenage kid who has no appreciation for it.
